Dunkel, the newly elected radical Sec'v of internal Affairs, is getting on his wr. or rather, his Hutch up. Ths Harrisburg Telegraph savs: Fx-Senator A. K. Punkel. seoretarv of internal affairs elect, wants it undvr 255 that he shall not appoint any man to position in his department who has the misfortune to live m a county whose delegation did not vote for his nomina tion in the convention,or where his vote was lower than the vote for the rest or the Reoublioan ticket From what lo calitv then will Mr. l>unkel make his appointments? Strikes are still the order of the day in Kngland : in fact they have been more numerous in that country, within the last two years, than in America. On'v last week another great euikj- has taken place in lancashire. One hun dred and twenty mills are closed aud twelve thousand men idle. It is calcu lated that with the assistance of trade# unions the strike will last ten weeks. There is in Alabama a Democratic newspaper, the Montgomery Gazette, which i* edited by a negro. How that nagur must have been "bnlldozed." Now send down the troops. The carpet bagger is about to step down and out, henceforth to be known only in hiatory. Of all the evils that afflicted the south the carpet bagger the most annoying and hateful. M ith the removal of federal bavonetts and local self government restored in the south, the career of the carpel lugger is at an end, and, as an exchange savs, on the 4th of March neit William But Kellogg, from Louisiana, will be the last carpet lugger left iu the senate of the United to keep in the re remembrance of the country an era Oi reconstruction which was more dread ful than a period of actual war. George S. Houston, a distinguished conserva tive citizen of Alabama, will succeed the carpet bagger Spencer, and in a lew days more the democratic legislatures of South Carolina and Florida will elect successor® for Patterson and Conover. Kellogg alone remains, the fit exponent of the colossal crime by which the peo ple of the United States were defrauded of their choice of a President. The crowned heads of Europe are very uneasv on account of the socialists, or king killers, as we would term them, and wbv not after so many attempts of late to send some of them over ? From Rome it is announced that an unofficial account of the discoveries that have been made by the police agents en trusted with the task of tracing to its source the international conspiracy for the assassination of the Kines of Europe will probably soon be published. It is understood that the discoveries are full and complete, and show the existence of a widespread combination for this purpose. The revolutionary propaganda in Italy has been mainly carried on through the agency of this association, and men in high positions are believed to be members of the organization. According to the Titusville Herald, an authority on oil matters, the Williams port pipe line is a fixed fact. The com pany has been formed, the stock sub scribed, the officers chosen and work al ready commenced. The parties inter ested in this great enUrpri&e are busi ness men of character and standing, and it is expected that the "long talked about" improvement will now be made. It cannot fail to be of great benefit to the producers, as it will enable them to send their oil to market without being under the thumb of the great Standard monopoly, and compelled to accept whatever price it cboooes to pay. The line, it is stated, will have a capacity of 8,000 barrels per day, which will flowio to the tanks at Williamvport. Trom this point it will be shipped by rail to the seaboard, making a greet deal of busi ness for whatever road has the contract for its transportation. It is expected that oil refineries will also be erected there, which will give employment to labor and greatly benefit the city. Since the discovery of an over-issue of Pennsylvania State bonds of 1863, on August 7. between fifteen and twenty of these bonds of the denomination of ?1,000 have been prrs -nted at the Treas ury Department, at Harrisburg, for re demption, but payment was refused for the reason that the full amount of the loan, $228,000, bad bsen redeemed. On November 6th one was received from Philadelphia and payment refused. Tuesday the same bond was sent on by the Central National Bank of Philadel phia, presented/and payment again re fused. The bank then notified the Treasury Department that if payment was refused the same course would be pursued as in tbe case of a protested note and tbe bond was accordingly protested. The State Treasurer will make a report of the matter to the Legislature, end will publish in full the correspondence with bankers and financiers upon the sub ject. What is the cause of the war between England and Afghaniston? Well, there is really no cause. England is playing tbe bully over a weaker power—she wanted the Ameer of Afghanistan to be favora.,.e to her in all matters, an ene my to England's enemies and a friend to her friend. This particularly in her longing for increased dominion in In dia. Tbe Ameer choose to refuse this upon Beveral occasions, and when a few week's Bgo she again made the request for tbe last time and demanded a reply and apology for being snubbed, there was no reply at all at the time set by England ; an advance was immediately ordered, and war has commenced. This is the whole cause in a nutshell. Some of our cotemporaries are al ready engaged in making up presiden tial tickets for 1880. Now how would this do, viz; For Pree't, I'. G.

There seems, however, no doubt as to one point iu both the Tensas i and Caddo difficulties; that in both of these the fight was opened by tho ne groes and was not oegun on the part of the a bites until several of their number had fallen. In Caddo a mob of negroes had assembled within a radius of a mile of the polls, with arms in their hands, threatening to break up the election. The commissioners of election cubed upon toe sheriff to disperse this assern blage, which was expressly against the law, and prevent the threatened out rage. In attempiug to do thisseveral of the sheriff's posse were shot down. The negroes who were killed in the light which followed were all armed. In Tensas parish I learn, through republi can sources, that tho difficulties origina ted first between a mounted company of whites who were returning from Tensas after most of the negroes had dispersed, and a small body of negroes more vio lent than the rest, who would not leave. The fight here, too, it is stated, was be gun by the negroes. # i j Subscribe and pay fox tbe Reporter ondJ< don't borrow it of your noighbor.

Gen. s 'cfried des crioe.-. the successive steps in the negO . tiai ua ~i> terminated in the trans fer of the M By to Governor , llartraufr From his long fctatem>;;i ye i . make the following extract: "After considerable general talk, Mat tery stale'l that he had brought with . hitii Johu Kehoe. a friend of his, who would work with him against Pershing; , hut as they were both poor they conld . not U-rel cxtd spend their own money ; j they would do' :ui they cat Id against him - • far as j -~,b!e p even without get-1 , a cent toward expense*, but if we i ould furnish them the means to travel. ! and get their friends to work, they were certain they c >uld make a change of a certain number of votes in each of the Irish districts. They made a calcula tion, lot the figures I do not now recol lect. We wanted to know how much they thought it would re juiie to pi7 I their < xpeuscs fur themselves aud frienus to make a thorough canvass and bring about llie r *ult stated. They put the ligoresat SJ. >K) for the State ticket and fl.l ci more if they ran certain other cai.didates on the county ticket ahead of a cexlatu We tohl them that of course they could not tvpwcf jl:o whole <>f the amount unU-s* they proved, after the vote was counted, that they and their friends in the several townships had accomplished w hat they said. To this both replied that they uiust have the v., *. at once, us they should re quire every sv.d more to travel and . get their Irieu Is to do t 'tne: that ihey were in earnest in this matter, and that they did not wish anything for themselves or friends except to have ihuir expenses paid; the satisfaction of defeating Pershing would be ample re ward. After farther unimportant conversation we told them tnai we would consider the matter, and if we decided to furnish them the money 1 would tele graph Slattery. After a lew days we con cluded to give them the money. I tele graphed inaitary, and thev came to my bouse. Mr. Henntog wad thare, and gt ter stating that he had talked over the matter, we told the in that we thought that thev ought to be able to accomplish the result with at Itust half down and the other half after the election ; but they auid that they could not possibly ilo it unJeau they got it all; but if that was all we could do, Hut they would do the very heat they could with that amount. We finally agreed to give it, paid them fl.UUti that night ami the other a few days after, at Mattery'a houre iu Tuscarora." This admission of Gen. Figfried con firm* -J1 that has been charged concern ing the disgiaceful alliance between the Republican lcadef* of Pennsylvania and the Moby Maguires. The chief differ ence between the statement of (ien.fcig fried and tho testimony of John J. Mat tery is the denial of the former that he i said lie would go to Harrisburg and get the money after the bargain was struck. Gen. Mgfried denies al.*o that Gov. liartranft knew anything about the transaction "until some time after the election." This difference ia not mate* rial. Gen. lioyt wa* Chairman of the Republican State Central t'ommiltee at the time, and it was not necessary for Gen. Mgfried to mention the source from winch the money was obtained. It is enough that Gov. liartranft became informed of the character of his indebt edness to the Molly Maguires some time after the election, lint the whole char acter ol the alliance between the Repub lican leaders and the Molly Maguires stands confessed in the narrative of Gen. Sigfried. Some good Republicans have shaken their beads in doubt as to the existence of this foul conspiracy with Hsfussiim for votes. They have closed their ears to the solemn declaration of Franklin B.Gowen that he knew of con ferences between prominent Republicans and the chiefs of the Molly Maguires, in which large surrs of money were paid forturniug the tide of a Slate election. What do they say now to this revelation bv Gen. Sigfried of the methods by which large Republican majorities are produced iu cerlain portions of Pennsyls vania? In relating the story of the negotia tions with Kehoe and Slattery Gen. Sig fried says he would have had nothing to do with the matter had he known they were Molly Maguires. Of course not. He would have gone among reputable citizens to make bargains for votes, and no doubt his pure mind was greatly shocked when lie subsequently learned that he wasdenling with the chief of a band of asean-ins. He never intended i that the money should be used in any < but "a legitimate way." By no means. ( He knew that Slattery was "an avowed enemy of Judge Pershing" and lie took . it for granted that such a personal enemy 1 would not use the money except in a ' legitimate way. The money was not t given to buy votes at all. It was to be t used by Kehoe and Slattery and Ibeir j friends to "travel." The. proud satisfac- s tion of defeating Judge Pershing would be "ample reward" fur three high-mind- 11 ed citizens who bargained for votes as 1 coolly with General Sigfried as if they * were selling him pigs. It is possible, t since we have General Sigfried's word e for it, that he was ignorant of the char acter of the men with whom he was . dealing, hut the principals who paid the " money knew their value, and the result b pftbfi election shows that in a political a a* well as a commercial point of view it ww a good investment.

It has been the policy of tho Depart ment to place the four per cent, bonds within easy reach of every citizen who de tires to invest his savings, whether smell or great,*in these securities. The Secreta ry of the Treasury recommends that the law bo to modiflod, that small sums may bo invested, and that through the poitotli ces, or other agents of the Government, the freest opportunity may be given in all parts of tho country for such investments The best mode suggested is, that the Department be authorized to issue certifi cates of deposit of the denomination of ten dollars, bearing interest at the rate of 3.661 percent, per annum, and convertible at any time within one year after their issue into the four per cent, bonds authorized by the refunding act, and to be issued on ly in exchango for United States notes ent to the Treasury by mail or otherwise Such a provision oflaw, supported by euit ible regulations, would enable any person readily, without cost or risk, to convert lis money into an interett-beiring socuri- j ty ofthe United States, and the money so j -cceivod could be applied to tho redeinp- | ion of six per cent, bonds.

I The following true anil forcible observa tions by the Patriot about the financial condition of our state treasury and the reckless and improper expenditures f the people's money by the legislature, deserve attention. It says : The inability of the slat# treasury tu meet the appropriation , made by the last legislature calls a hall upen the practice ot making donations out of the people's taxes to private insti . tutionx of a charitable or educational character. Doubtless the ordinary ex paniilures will be Coft-.derably increase.) by the incoming legislature, fbry are ten large and the shrunken revenues require that greater economy shall be observed in conducting the affairs of the state. Bui the expenses of running the machinery of I the state government it morel v a drop in the bucket at compared with ibe lavish appropriations for purposes altogether , foreign to the public or official service of . the state. It i* no doubt popular to attack the salaries of public officers, but it is nevertheless true that the taxpayer* ofthe | common waalth could afford to pay their . servant* in the legislature even better salaries than they now receive if the latter would set their faces sternly at all limes against the lavish largesses which in the past have been voted lo the various mer- Leant institutions which the state is not , bound cither politically or morally t<> sup ■ port.

It has been well understood ar.d received the careful consider lion ot 'continental a great many years, without being adopted by any of them, in the 1i0r... thai we b*v it from England Many attempts have been made to intro duce it in some modified shape, but I think it safe to say that it ha not in it* essential Anglo-Saxon feature met th<- ap proval of any people except those of that race. In tbe days when kings exercised arbitrary power, tbe jury was, among the sturdy, liberty-loving Englishmen, a val uable barrier against oppression by the crown. But in this country, where the people are sovereign, tbo jury is but 100 oflsri'be mere reflection of popular im pulse. and the safety of an innocent man is mora frequently found lo depend on the firmness ofthe judge than tho impartial it) of the jury. Still it is probably wise thai ao man shall !>• convicted of an infamous crime until twelve fair-minded men are convinced of his guilt. 1 am also forced i lo admit, however, that even in civil cases tny experience as a judge has been much inoro favorable to jury trials than it was as a practitioner. And I atn bound to say j that an intelligent and unprejudiced jury, when such can bo obtained, who aje in structed in the law with such clearness, precision and brevity as will present their | duty in bold relief, are rarely mistaken in I regard to fact* which they are called upon to find.—Justice Miller before the Stale Bar Association. A man in Denver believes that the world will come to an end cn next Christ roa*. He has prepared white robes for the occasion, and will slay on bis housetop on that day, ready lo bo caught up lo heaven, lie has made no ascension robe for his wife, however, thinking Ih at she is tore main and bo destroyed.
